Abstract
AbstractIn the construction industry, increased efforts are being made to automate production processes using industrial robots in order to increase efficiency, improve quality and optimize the use of materials. Tunnel construction is particularly suitable for the use of modern production methods, as the increased use of machines and the high repetition factor of the components used make it possible to scale production technology across project boundaries. This paper provides examples of current developments in segment production, in particular the use of industrial robots in the prefabrication of reinforcement cages and subsequent concreting. Necessary adaptations in segment design are pointed out when welded reinforcement is used, and conceivable further developments are shown. The medium‐term goal is a continuous IT‐based production control system that allows short‐term adjustments to segment production, logistics and subsequent installation in the tunnel.
